Customer Reviews
Don't buy this set ......   2010-05-02
By The Purple Heart (USA)
Unless you have more money than brains. You can buy each movie individually and not even come close to what is asked for this set. The movies are great, but this venue / format is outrageous as far as the price is concerned.
Why not Blu Ray?   2009-12-13
By Robert K. Vidervol (michigan)
I was fortunate to see the 1932 The Mummy in HD off my streaming box! Unfortunately,I wrote a review and it disappeared as a selection.Most likely because it has not been legitimately released in Blu Ray.Which brings me to an important point.The HD picture was the epitome of the legendary silver screen!I can no longer stand to watch these Classics in 480i(supposedly up converted}.The HD version made this old classic extraordinarily exciting! Addendum 12-17,the 720p version is now available on demand,I highly recommend it. I know fanatics like myself would enjoy watching all of the 1931 to 1939 Universal Horror classics all of the time on 1080p disks! We must canvas for the most meaningful re-release of these Gems!
Great Collection   2005-05-04
I bought All these Separate But there is one thing wrong "the invisible man" in this does not have a Trailer But other than that Get this if you are just starting out "Phantom of the opera" in this is the best Version out there i am not too keen on silent movies
Go For the Legacy Collections   2004-12-23
By Doctor LongGhost
I'm surprised to see some fairly recent reviews (2004)praising this set. Folks, this is a high price to pay for eight movies, when you can get Universal's recently released "Legacy" series for about $20 a pop. Because the "Legacy" series crams an average of five movies onto each two-disk set, the picture quality isn't as rich as it could be. (Keep in mind, though that the Universal Monster Collection was released relatively early in DVD history, and I don't think the images were cleaned up all that much. I certainly found my old VHS copy of "The Mummy" far superior to the single-disk version I bought early on. The "Legacy" series improves the picture and sound, even though neither is perfect. Universal has released "Legacy" series for Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Mummy. Each set features the original Universal movie, plus three or four sequels. The Frankenstein Legacy Collection, for instance, features all three Karloff outings, plus House of Frankenstein and Ghost of Frankenstein. The Mummy Legacy Collection features the Karloff original, plus Mummy's Hand, Ghost, Tomb and Curse. All for a great price. Check it out and save your money!
SUPERB CLASSIC MONSTER MIX   2004-10-26
By Wes (World Citizen, Earth)
I waffled back and forth on whether to get this. By the time I was ready to go for it, it was TOO LATE. It was no longer available for sale here. But then, wouldn't you know it, dumb luck paid off when I checked back and it was available AGAIN - and for only $120!!!! What's great about this set is the original poster artwork featured on the cover of each dvd case. Plus, the individual sepia-tone processed photographs of each monster featured on the cardboard slipcase is cool. Lots of nice special features (commentaries, et al.) It is a great collection. Unfortunately Universal saw the marketing possiblities years down the road after having green-lit "Van Helsing" (which I've yet to see, hearing how ATROCIOUS it is), so the only way you can have these films is individually in their current incarnation, which I suppose will suffice as long as all original 8 in this collection are released. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
